All are welcome, we will meet at Good Shepherd's parking lot at 4:30pm. If you have any questions, please call Mary at 920-229-9561
New Dierctories: The new church directories are here! If you had your picture taken, please look on the table in the atrium and find the directory with your name on it (blue label, top right side). If you didn’t get your picture taken but would like to purchase a directory, they are $15. There is a drop box in the church office with the extra directories next to it.
Painting for Praise: A Thrivent Action Team has been created to spruce up our Sunday School rooms. We are looking for 10-12+ volunteers to help paint the four Sunday School rooms on Saturday, October 22. As the saying goes “many hands make light work”. We plan to start at 8am and would love for you to join us for an hour or until the job is done. We ask that you bring along any paintbrushes, rollers/roller brushes and roller trays to aid in the task. If you’d like to help but are unavailable on October 22, Nikole will be doing some of the prep work (moving furniture, taping around trim, etc.) on Friday, October 21. If you’d like to help either day, please let Nikole Vergin know via text (920.312.2098) or email (Nikole.vergin@gmail.com).
Craft Fair & Bake Sale: The annual Holiday Craft and Bake Sale will be held Saturday, November 19th from 8:00 am until 3:00 pm. There are many opportunities for helping with this event including attending the Wednesday craft group or making crafts at home. Another great way to help is to plan on baking something or making snack mix/candy to sell. Bakery has always been a huge part of funds raised from this event. In the weeks to come we will also have Craft Fair signs for members to place in their yards. More information regarding yard signs and packaging food items will be made available at a future date.
Seeking Ideas for Good Shepherd Ministry: At the September Church Council meeting, a small group was authorized to begin a process of planning for the future. Our strategic planning sessions from the past few years have gotten us to this point and we are now pleased to solicit ideas from church members (and visitors). We need your help. Please share your ideas directly with us at this survey link or get a paper form in the office: https://forms.gle/PK3eH9hxtU9eqXs39
If you would like to be more directly involved in this process or have additional questions, please call or email me at (920) 642-3990 or at: dweiss@brushfiresfoundation.org
